Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a centrifugal mixer of foodstuffs with improved nebulization of the liquid portion.
  • the mixer of the present invention can be used in the field of pasta production where from raw materials in solid form, such as wheat powders or semolina flours or flour or alike, and in liquid form, such as water, egg or water with additives, a mixture is made intended to be worked to make the end product.
  • raw materials in solid form such as wheat powders or semolina flours or flour or alike
  • liquid form such as water, egg or water with additives
  • a mixture is made intended to be worked to make the end product.
  • the device according to the present invention will be defined by the term mixer and not by the term "pre-mixer" used in the prior art to indicate devices with analogous functions.
  • such a known pre-centrifugal mixer is of the type comprising:
  • the centrifugal effect due to the rotation of the shaft and to the presence of the vanes causes the expansion of the powdered product towards the lateral internal wall of the cylindrical chamber. Since the inlet of the liquid portion is positioned in an intermediate position between the inlet of the solid portion and the internal wall of the cylinder, the powdered product impacts upon the liquid one during its expansion thus making the end mixture homogeneous.
  • the first mixing vanes formed on the shaft perform the dual function of expanding the powdered solid product, as well as of making a sort of rough nebulization of the liquid product.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to make an alternative centrifugal mixer of foodstuffs to the known ones that is able to solve the aforementioned drawbacks in an extremely simple, cost-effective and particularly functional manner.
  • Another purpose is to make a centrifugal mixer of foodstuffs that is able to nebulize the liquid portion in an optimal manner so that it is distributed homogeneously even on products, like wheat flour, with a low specific weight and high hygroscopic capacity.
  • a further purpose is to make a centrifugal mixer of foodstuffs that is also able to expand the solid portion in an optimal manner so as to more homogeneously absorb the water already nebulized in the cylinder.
  • the Applicant has taken steps to divide the functions of advancement of the mixture, of nebulization of the liquid portion and of expansion of the solid portion into three distinct components operating independently in different portions of the cylinder.
  • Such a centrifugal mixer 10 is suitable for making a homogeneous mixture of a solid portion in the form of powders or flours, like semolina flour or wheat flour, with a liquid portion, such as water, and comprises:
  • the rotation motion is transmitted to the shaft 13 by a motorization 50 connected to the base end 40 of the shaft 13, said base end 40 being that from which extends an Archimedean screw 42 with one or more advancing starts of the solid portion towards the mixing vanes 14.
  • the Archimedean screw portion 42 is housed in a duct 60 of smaller diameter with respect to the cylinder 12 provided with an upper opening 51 for insertion of the solid portion.
  • the mixing shaft 13 with the vanes 14 is in the cylinder 12 and in such a transit area from the duct 60 to the cylinder 12 there being obtained the at least one inlet 15 of the solid portion pushed by the Archimedean screw 42 and the at least one inlet 11 of the liquid portion supplied from outside of the mixer by means of tubes possibly joined to the cylinder 12 with suitable flanges.
  • the inlet 15 of the solid portion i.e. the outlet area of the Archimedean screw 42 into the cylinder 12
  • the at least one inlet 11 of the liquid portion is positioned in an intermediate position between the inlet 15 of the solid portion and the internal wall 20 of the cylinder 12.
  • Figure 8 shows the relative arrangement of the inlets of the solid portion 15 and of the liquid portion 11 into the cylinder 12 with respect to the axis A of the shaft 13.
  • the functions of advancing the mixture, of nebulizing the water and of expansion of the flour are performed by the first vanes formed of the shaft.
  • the mixer comprises nebulizing means 22 configured specifically to carry out just such a function and thus configured to interact only with the liquid portion injected into the cylinder 12.
  • such nebulizing means 22 are positioned in the cylinder directly facing the at least one inlet 11 of the liquid portion and are in a more external position from the axis A with respect to the at least one inlet 15 of the solid portion.
  • the space D present between the shaft 13 and the inner surface 20 of the cylinder is divided into two concentric areas, the first 23 identifies a circular ring d around the shaft not engaged by the nebulizing means 22 and in which the solid product advances freely, and a second external area 16 that identifies an external circular ring d' in which nebulizing means 22 operate and where the liquid portion is injected.
  • the nebulization of the liquid portion is not influenced by the expansion of the solid portion and vice-versa.
  • At least two or a plurality of inlets 11 of the liquid portion are provided, all facing the circular ring 16 outside of the inlet area 15 of the solid portion.
  • the nebulizing means 22 in turn comprise a plurality of rotating nebulization vanes 17 placed directly facing the inlets 11 where such nebulizing vanes 17 are supported by a common base ring 18.
  • the base ring 18 is substantially in lateral contact with the internal wall 20 of the cylinder 12 and the nebulizing vanes 17 project from the base ring 18 towards the inlets 11 of the liquid portion.
  • the base ring 18 is integral with the shaft 13 by means of two mixing vanes 14.
  • the vanes 17 are configured so as to nebulize the liquid portion and comprise at least two portions in succession from one another and inclined in space differently.
  • the nebulizing means 22 operate in a circular ring 16 outside of the inlet 15 of the solid portion, which is indeed introduced in a circular ring 23 that is more inner with respect to the axis A of the shaft 13.
  • the expansion means 19 of the solid portion are arranged in the cylinder 12 downstream of the nebulizing means 22 associated with the shaft 13 facing the inlet 15 of the solid portion in a position closer to the axis A with respect to the at least one inlet 11 of the liquid portion.
  • such expansion means 19 can comprise a cone-shaped element 19 keyed or mounted on the shaft 13.
  • the mixing vane 14 arranged directly downstream of the cone element 19 is equipped with a peripheral extension 24 that extends above the cone element 19.
  • a further advantage of the present invention is the fact that the shaft 13 is of the removable and replaceable type.
  • centrifugal mixer of foodstuffs with improved nebulization of the liquid portion of the present invention thus conceived can undergo numerous modifications and variants, all of which are covered by the same inventive concept; moreover, all of the details can be replaced by technically equivalent elements.
  • the materials used, as well as their sizes, can be of whatever type according to the technical requirements.
